Vasectomy

[itaos]

I want get snipped but am looking for recommendations. Which procedure did you have, where did you have it done and any long term pain?

Both brother in laws did and they only had to sit on a bag of peas for a day or so, GL!

I got the "Golden Shears" award in 1977 or 78 so am not up to date on current procedures. One thing that will make a difference in recovery time is to follow directions and take it real easy for a couple of weeks. I felt great after a couple of days and resumed normal activity (new construction electrician) and man did I regret it! Do what the Doc says and you will be fine.

Yep...85 or 86 for me in the hospital at Offutt AFB so can't really comment on "modern" prodedures. But, no issues, very little discomfort...or maybe the Valium was just really effective. Never regretted it.

The urology center of Denver. Right next to mile high stadium. They are good.

Otherwise, same info others said above ^^^ peas are your friend and take it easy for 10 days.

Urology Associates was where I got mine about 10 years ago . . . non-scalpel method. Procedure was pretty fast. They gave me a valium and then it was not all that bad. A little tugging here and there but not really painful. Pain during recovery wasn't too bad . . . the more disconcerting thing is seeing your junk turn the color of an eggplant for a few days. Just be sure to follow the instruction to take it easy for the week afterwards!! I sort of hosed myself. Was feeling pretty spry a few days into it and decided to do a bunch of yard work--which included carrying my lawnmower down the stairs in the back yard. Wasn't very smart and I paid for it with a few added days of discomfort that would have been easily avoided.

Keep the peas/ice on them, watch a bunch of tv, take it easy for a few days and it shouldn't be a big deal at all.

I had the procedure done about 4 years ago. A little tugging sensation, kind of weird but nothing painful. My recovery was uneventful, a little swelling and black and blue.

I hear the places down in Trinidad are the best in the state?

Had it done little over 10 years ago by a near retirement urologist who was retired career Navy. He had thousands upon thousands of clips on his resume, and it showed. Less than 10 minutes start to finish. A little ice the next day and then good to go.

What procedure did you have done? A little tugging that left you black and blue?? In Trinidad!?

This is exactly the "Dear Abbey" sh!t that Jim was talking about...
